Risotto Cakes

red onion, diced

garlic,

butternut squash, peeled and cut into equal-sized 1/2 inch cubes

salt

pepper

Arborio rice

Tablespoon Fresh sage, chopped finely

dry white wine (I used Chardonnay)

yeast

parsley, chopped finely

lemon

shallot

ginger,

lime,

lite coconut milk

Tablespoon red chili paste

Saute the garlic and onion in a large skillet until onions are translucent.

Add the butternut squash cubes and season with salt and pepper.

Stir occasionally until the squash is tender but not cooked all the way through (about 5 minutes).

Add the Arborio rice and sage. Stir to combine, then add wine and cook 1 minute longer.

Add 2 cups of broth and bring to a simmer.

Stir slightly; do not over-stir. Cook until the liquid evaporates(about 5 minutes).

Then, add 1 cup of vegetable broth at a time and cook the same way until the rice is cooked and the fluid is absorbed.

Continue to add the vegetable broth, 1 cup at a time, until all the vegetable broth is gone.

Again, cook the mixture down until the liquid is absorbed. Do not over-stir the mixture. This process should take 10-15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and stir in the nutritional yeast, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir in parsley.

Now, eat the risotto as is, or go to teh next step to make the risotto cakes.

Risotto

To make the risotto cakes, spread the rice mixture in a thin layer on a baking sheet, prepared with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Cover with plastic wrap or another cover of your choice.

Allow cooling completely, then transfer to the refrigerator.

For the best results, refrigerate the risotto on the pan overnight or for at least 2 hours.

Remove the chilled risotto from the refrigerator.

Form small risotto cakes using a small burger press, or you can prepare risotto balls.

Another option is to make large risotto cakes using the larger-sized mold to form 6.

Or, use your hands to form 12 equal-sized cakes.

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees.

Place the risotto cakes in a single layer on the air fry pan.

If batch cooking, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat an oven to 325 degrees to keep the risotto cakes warm while cooking the remaining risotto cakes.

Cook for 8 minutes until crispy.

If making larger cakes, increase the time to 15 minutes.

Air Frying

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Cook for 20 minutes.

If cooking larger cakes, cook for 35 minutes.

Baking

In a medium saucepan, combine grated ginger and shallots and saute until the shallots are translucent.

Add the lime juice and zest from one lime and a pinch of salt.

Stir, and then add coconut milk and red chili paste.

The sauce thickens as it heats.
